EDITORS COMMENTS
The poignant illustration titled "With an effort he looked at them as they passed" captures a somber moment in history. Depicting the death of Alexander the Great, this 1913 color print by Walter Crane evokes a sense of sorrow and farewell. In this scene, weakened by illness and lying on his deathbed, Alexander bids a heartbreaking goodbye to his loyal troops. Despite his sickness and weakness, he musters the strength to inspect their shields and spears one last time. Surrounding him are mourners filled with grief, watching over their beloved Macedonian king. Crane's artistic skill shines through in this children's illustration from "The Story of Greece" by Mary Macgregor. The attention to detail is evident in every element - from the expressions on the faces of both Alexander and his soldiers to the intricate armor worn by each warrior. This image not only portrays historical significance but also serves as a reminder of mortality and human vulnerability. It reminds us that even great leaders like Alexander can succumb to illness and face their final moments with loved ones by their side. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, witnessing a powerful moment where bravery meets fragility. It invites us to reflect on our own lives while paying homage to those who have faced similar struggles throughout history.
